ABSTRACT

An interference cancellation receiver reduces the multiple access interference in a CDMA system. The receiver includes a demodulator for receiving a residual signal or a received signal from a calling terminal as an over-sample unit baseband spread signal and down-sampling the baseband spread signal on a chip basis to output a demodulation signal, a regenerator for performing a bit decision for the demodulation signal, regenerating signals through the channelization and scrambling and converting the regenerated signals to signals on the over-sample basis, an adder for summing up the over-sample unit signals, a filter for filtering the summed-up signal to output a band spread signal, a subtractor for subtracting the band spread signal from the received signal to output the residual signal and a delay for keeping timing with the residual signal by delaying the chip unit signals outputted from the regenerator.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a code division multiple access (CDMA) system; and, more particularly, to a parallel interference cancellation receiver for implementing a multi-user detector, i.e., reducing the multiple access interference (MAI), in the CDMA system.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] A parallel interference cancellation scheme regenerates multi-user signals on a user basis and performs reference cancellation by subtracting regenerated interference signals from received signals, wherein the signals for the multi-users are transmitted in a mixed state.

[0003] Since a receiver of a CDMA system receives signals, which are coded by using a unique spread code in each terminal, transmitted through the same frequency band, mixed and, then, received through a channel, its performance is degraded by the multiple access interference (MAI) caused in de-spreading of the received signals.

[0004] Further, when subtracting a regenerated baseband signal for each path from a received baseband signal in order to cancel the MAI, the complexity of a system substantially varies according to a location of a band spread filter for converting the regenerated signal to the baseband signal.

[0005] A conventional parallel interference cancellation receiver has a drawback that its system complexity is comparatively high since it requires a pulse shaping filter for each finger when regenerating a signal for the interference cancellation. For instance, in case the number of multi-paths (i.e., the number of fingers in each detector) is L and the number of users (i.e., the number of detectors) is K, the number of base spread filters required to perform an S-stage interference cancellation becomes K*L*S.

[0006] In case of employing a band spread filter for each detector instead of using a pulse shaping filter for each finger in order to resolve the system complexity, there needs K*S filters and there still remains a complexity problem in case there are a number of users.

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the prior art, ‘CDMA multi-user interference canceller’ (Japanese Patent No. Bei 10-24367) employed only one pulse shaping filter at each interference cancellation node by summing up the regenerated signal of each detector and then allowing the summed signal to pass through the pulse shaping filter.

[0008] Since, however, the prior art performs a subtraction process on a chip basis, it does not consider the case that user signals are asynchronous.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] It is, therefore, a primary object of the present invention to provide an interference cancellation receiver capable of being processed over-sample basis for an asynchronous system as well as reducing the number of pulse shaping filters required in the signal regeneration for the subtraction in a multistage parallel interference receiver for reducing the MAI of a CDMA system.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a cyclic interference cancellation receiver capable of being employed in an asynchronous system as well as performing a multistage interference cancellation by using one hardware in a multistage parallel interference receiver for reducing the MAI of a CDMA system.

[0011] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a receiver of a CDMA system employing a multiple access interference (MAI) cancellation apparatus, comprising the MAI cancellation apparatus includes a demodulator for receiving a residual signal or a received signal from a calling terminal as a baseband spread signal on an over-sample basis and down-sampling the baseband spread signal on from the over-sample basis to a chip basis to thereby output a demodulation signal, a regenerator for performing a bit decision for the demodulation signal, regenerating signals through the channelization and scrambling, and converting the regenerated signals to signals on the over-sample basis, an adder for summing up the signals on the over-sample basis, a pulse shaping filter for filtering the summed-up signal to thereby output a band spread signal, a subtractor for subtracting the band spread signal from the received signal to thereby output the residual signal and a delay for keeping timing with the residual signal by delaying the signals on the chip basis outputted from the regenerator, wherein the MAI cancellation apparatus generates the demodulation signal by summing up the residual signal down-sampled on the chip basis at the demodulator and the signals on the chip basis outputted from the delay.

[0012] In accordance with the present invention, it is possible to improve the system complexity by summing up all regenerated signals and making the summed signal pass through a pulse shaping filter. Further, the present invention can be applied in case of asynchronous user signals and enhance the performance of a receiver of the CDMA system by executing the subtraction on an over-sample basis and the channel estimation on a chip basis.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some preferred embodiments of the present invention would be explained in detail. It should be noticed that, when assigning reference numerals to components illustrated in each drawing, components performing a same function are represented by an identical reference numeral although they are shown in different drawings.

[0017] Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, there is shown a block diagram of an interference cancellation receiver for the multistage parallel interference cancellation in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention and its operation will be described herein below.

[0018] A received intermediate frequency (IF) signal is generated after a transmitted signal passes through a receiving antenna (not shown), a carrier demodulator (not shown) and an analog-digital (A/D) converter 101. Then, the received IF signal is converted to a baseband signal by a root raised cosine (RRC) filter 102 which is the same band spread filter as used when each terminal transmits signals. The baseband signal is stored in a receiving buffer 103 and, at the same time, inputted to demodulation blocks 111 a to 111 k in a demodulator 110.

[0019] The baseband signal inputted to each of the demodulation blocks 111 a to 111 k is coupled to each of fingers 113 a to 113 l. Herein, the K demodulation blocks 111 a and 111 k have a same configuration and the number of demodulation blocks is identical to that of users of a CDMA system employing an inventive interference cancellation receiver. Moreover, the fingers 113 a to 113 l of each of the demodulation block 111 a to 111 k have functions of demodulating L multi-path signals of each user.

[0020] Since the demodulation blocks 111 a to 111 k perform the same function, the description will center round the first modulation block 111 a, a first regeneration block 131 a of a regenerator 130, a subtractor 150 and a first demodulation block 171 a of a demodulator 170, hereinafter.

[0021] An I/Q received signal on an over-sample basis, which is inputted to the fingers 113 a to 113 l of the first demodulation block 111 a in parallel, is divided into an I signal and a Q signal and, then, provided to corresponding decimators 115-1 and 115-2 in parallel. I/Q output signals, which are down-sampled on a chip basis by the decimators 115-1 and 115-2, are de-scrambled and de-channelized by a dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH) demodulator 117 and a dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) demodulator 119, respectively, thereby being demodulated to a data signal and a control signal for each path and coupled to a DPDCH maximum ratio combiner (MRC) 123 and a DPCCH MRC 125, respectively.

[0022] Meanwhile, a channel estimator 121 performs the channel estimation for each path by using a pilot signal outputted from the DPCCH demodulator 119 and provides a channel estimation value Ch_est to the DPDCH MRC 123 and the DPCCH MRC 125. The DPDCH MRC 123 and the DPCCH MRC 125 execute a maximum ratio combination soft bit decision for DPDCH bits and DPCCH bits by using two input values, i.e., the data/control signal for each path and the channel estimation values and supply the resulting value to a signal regenerator 130 so as to perform the received signal regeneration required for the subtraction.

[0023] The soft bit decision values of the demodulation blocks 111 a to 111 k, which are output values of the demodulator 110, are inputted in parallel to regeneration blocks 131 a to 131 k of the signal regenerator 130 and, then, a temporary bit decision is performed for the soft bit decision values by a bit decision blocks 135-1 and 135-2 for the DPDCH and the DPCCH of the signal regeneration blocks 131 a to 131 k. Herein, if the soft bit decision value is not a negative number, it is decided as 1 and, if otherwise, it is decided as −1.

[0024] The bit decision values determined by the bit decision blocks 135-1 and 135-2 are provided to the L fingers 133 a to 133 l of the first signal generation block 131 a. The bit decision values inputted to the fingers 133 a to 133 l are de-spread through the same procedure as in a transmitter. First of all, the bit decision values are outputted on a chip basis after passing through channellization blocks 137-1 and 137-2, which spread the bit decision values by using a unique orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) code assigned to each channel for the channelization. At this time, a code generator (not shown) generates the OVSF code.

[0025] In order to regenerate multi-path signals, channel estimate multipliers 139-1 and 139-2 multiply the channel estimation value Ch_est by the DPDCH and the DPCCH obtained by the channelization blocks 137-1 and 137-2, respectively. A DPDCH regeneration signal and a DPCCH regeneration signal acquired by the channel estimate multipliers 139-1 and 139-2 are supplied to a scrambler 141 to thereby sort users and then multiplied by a scrambling code produced by the code generator (not shown) to thereby output I/Q signals.

[0026] The I/Q signals outputted on the chip basis are inputted to zero inserters 143-1 and 143-2, which insert (the number of over-samples −1) number of Os behind the I/Q signals on the chip basis to thereby output signals on the over-sample basis. Path selectors 145-1 and 145-2 choose signals to be participated in the subtraction among the multi-path signals. That is, after a rank order determinator (not shown) decides a rank order of the multi-path signals, the path selectors 145-1 and 145-2 determine whether or not outputting the multi-path signals according to their rank order. Since the rank order of signals in a finger is equally assigned for a corresponding I/Q channel, a path selector of the I/Q channel selects or unselects the I/Q signals at the same time. If all paths are selected, the interference cancellation receiver becomes a parallel interference cancellation receiver.

[0027] If selected, the selected signals passing through the zero selectors 143-1 and 143-2 are inputted to the subtractor 150 by considering a path delay and each user. On the other hand, I/Q signals on the chip basis, which do not pass through the zero selectors 143-1 and 143-2, are outputted through the path selector 145 as they are. This procedure is equally applied to all fingers 133 a to 133 l included in the signal regeneration blocks 131 a to 131 k of the signal regenerator 130.

[0028] The regeneration signals on the over-sample basis outputted from the signal regeneration blocks 131 a to 131 k of the signal regenerator 130 are coupled to the subtractor 150 for the interference cancellation and summed up at a regeneration signal adder 151. The summed signal outputted from the regeneration signal adder 151 passes through a pulse shaping filter 153. By summing up all of the regeneration signals and making them passing through the pulse shaping filter 153, the regeneration signals pass through the pulse shaping filter 153 only once for the 1-stage interference cancellation. This can achieve a simpler configuration than the prior art in which each of the regeneration signals passes through a pulse shaping filter, and reduce an amount of computation.

[0029] A subtraction block 155 subtracts an output value of the pulse shaping filter 153 from the received signal stored in the receiving buffer 103. The subtraction block 155 only outputs a difference between the received signal and the selected regeneration signal and a Gaussian noise signal as residual signals.

[0030] The I/Q residual signals are provided to the demodulation blocks 171 a to 171 k of the demodulator 170 in parallel regardless of whether the regeneration signals are selected or not and, then, down-sampled on the chip basis by I/Q signal decimators 175-1 and 175-2 in each of fingers 173 a to 173 l.

[0031] Output values of the decimators 175-1 and 175-2 are signals on the chip basis including chip asynchronous information provided to each user. In order to demodulate the signals unselected by the path selector 145-1 and 145-2, there is performed the same procedure as in the demodulator 110 by using the residual signals as the received signal.

[0032] In the meantime, since the selected regeneration signals are subtracted at the subtractor 155 so as to demodulate the signals selected by the path selectors 145-1 and 145-2, the residual signals are added by a regeneration signal for each path and then there is performed the bit decision of the signals for each path. For this, the I/Q signals on the chip basis outputted from the signal regeneration blocks 131 a to 131 l of the signal regenerator 130 pass through delays 104 and 105 so as to keep timing with the residual signals and, then, provided to their corresponding fingers 173 a to 173 l in the first demodulation block 171 a.

[0033] An I residual signal down-sampled on the chip basis by an I signal decimator 175-1 of each finger is combined with a delayed signal of an I regeneration signal and then inputted to a DPDCH demodulation block 177. On the other hand, a Q residual signal down-sampled on the chip basis by a Q signal decimator 175-2 are combined with a delayed signal of a Q regeneration signal and then provided to the DPCCH demodulation block 179. The next procedure is the same as in the demodulator 110.

[0034] As described above, since the bit decision is executed after most or all of the path signals are removed through the interference cancellation procedure, a more accurate decision can be performed. A final bit decision is accomplished by a hard decision after a DPDCH MRC 183 and a DPCCH MRC 185.

[0035] Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, there is illustrated a block diagram of a cyclic interference cancellation receiver for the multistage parallel interference cancellation in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] A received intermediate frequency (IF) signal is generated as described in the procedure explained with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B and then converted to a baseband signal by a root raised cosine (RRC) filter 102 which is the same band spread filter as used when each terminal transmits signals. The baseband signal is stored in a receiving buffer 203 of a subtractor 201. The baseband signal stored in the receiving buffer 203 is provided to demodulation blocks 171 a to 171 k in a demodulator 170 in parallel and inputted to each of fingers 173 a to 173 l of each of the demodulation blocks 171 a to 171 k.

[0037] Herein, the K demodulation blocks 171 a and 171 k have the same configuration and the number of demodulation blocks is identical to that of users of a CDMA system employing an inventive interference cancellation receiver. Further, the fingers 173 a to 173 l of each of the demodulation block 171 a to 171 k have functions of demodulating L multi-path signals of each user.

[0038] Since the demodulation blocks 171 a to 171 k perform the same function, the description will center round the first modulation block 171 a and a first regeneration block 131 a of a regenerator 130, hereinafter.

[0039] I/Q received signals on the over-sample basis, which are inputted to the fingers 173 a to 173 l of each of the demodulation blocks 171 a to 171 k in parallel, are coupled to I/Q signal decimators 175-1 and 175-2 in parallel. The I/Q output signals down-sampled on the chip basis by the decimators 175-1 and 175-2 are combined with the I/Q signals which are outputted from path selectors 145-1 and 145-2 of a signal regenerator 130 and delayed by delays 104 and 105, and the combined signals are coupled to a DPDCH demodulator 177 and a DPCCH demodulator 170. The next procedure is the same as in the demodulator 170 of FIG. 1B.

[0040] That is, the I/Q output signals down-sampled by the decimators 175-1 and 175-2 are demodulated to a data signal and a control signal by de-scrambled and de-channelized by the DPDCH demodulator 177 and the DPCCH demodulator 179 and the data signal and the control signal are inputted to a DPDCH MRC 183 and a DPCCH MRC 185, respectively.

[0041] Meanwhile, a channel estimator 181 performs the channel estimation for each path by using a pilot signal outputted from the DPCCH demodulator 179 and provides a channel estimation value Ch_est to the DPDCH MRC 183 and the DPCCH MRC 185. The DPDCH MRC 183 and the DPCCH MRC 185 execute a maximum ratio combination soft bit decision for DPDCH bits and DPCCH bits by using two input values, i.e., the data/control signal for each path and the channel estimation value, and supply the resulting value to a signal regenerator 130 so as to perform the received signal regeneration required for the subtraction.

[0042] The soft bit decision values of the demodulation blocks 171 a to 171 k, which are output values of the demodulator 170, are inputted in parallel to regeneration blocks 131 a to 131 k of the signal regenerator 130 and, then, a temporary bit decision is performed for the soft bit decision values by a bit decision blocks 135-1 and 135-2 for the DPDCH and the DPCCH of the signal regeneration block 131 a to 131 k. Herein, if the soft bit decision value is not a negative number, it is decided as 1 and, if otherwise, it is decided as −1.

[0043] The bit decision values determined by the bit decision blocks 135-1 and 135-2 are provided to the L fingers 133 a to 133 l of the first signal generation block 131 a. The bit decision values inputted to the fingers 133 a to 133 l are de-spread through the same procedure as in a transmitter. First of all, the bit decision values are outputted on a chip basis after passing through channellization blocks 137-1 and 137-2, which spread the bit decision values by using a unique orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) code assigned to each channel for the channelization. At this time, a code generator (not shown) generates the OVSF code.

[0044] In order to regenerate multi-path signals, channel estimate multipliers 139-1 and 139-2 multiply the channel estimation value Ch_est by the DPDCH and the DPCCH obtained by the channelization blocks 137-1 and 137-2, respectively. A DPDCH regeneration signal and a DPCCH regeneration signal acquired by the channel estimate multipliers 139-1 and 139-2 are supplied to a scrambler 141 to thereby sort users and then multiplied by a scrambling code produced by the code generator (not shown) to thereby output I/Q signals.

[0045] The I/Q signals outputted on the chip basis are inputted to zero inserters 143-1 and 143-2, which insert (the number of over-samples −1) number of Os behind the I/Q signals on the chip basis to thereby output signals on the over-sample basis. Path selectors 145-1 and 145-2 choose signals to be participated in the subtraction among the multi-path signals. That is, after a rank order determinator (not shown) decides a rank order of the multi-path signals, the path selectors 145-1 and 145-2 determine whether or not outputting the multi-path signals according to their rank order. Since the rank order of signals in a finger is equally assigned for a corresponding I/Q channel, a path selector of the I/Q channel selects or unselects the I/Q signals at the same time. If all paths are selected, the interference cancellation receiver becomes a parallel interference cancellation receiver.

[0046] If selected, the selected signals on the over-sample basis passing through the zero selectors 143-1 and 143-2 are inputted to a regeneration signal adder 151 by considering a path delay and each user. On the other hand, I/Q signals on the chip basis, which do not pass through the zero selectors 143-1 and 143-2, are outputted through the path selector 145 as they are. This procedure is equally applied to all fingers 133 a to 133 l included in the signal regeneration blocks 131 a to 131 k of the signal regenerator 130.

[0047] The regeneration signals on the over-sample basis outputted from the signal regeneration blocks 131 a to 131 k of the signal regenerator 130 are summed up at the regeneration signal adder 151. The summed signal outputted from the regeneration signal adder 151 passes through a pulse shaping filter 153. By summing up all of the regeneration signals and making them passing through the pulse shaping filter 153, the regeneration signals pass through the pulse shaping filter 153 only once for the 1-stage interference cancellation. This can achieve a simpler configuration than the prior art in which each of the regeneration signals passes through a pulse shaping filter, and reduce an amount of computation.

[0048] The data outputted from the regeneration signal adder 151 pass through the pulse shaping filter 153 and, then, fed back to a subtraction block 205 in the subtractor 201. The subtraction block 205 of the subtractor 201 subtracts the regeneration signals. The subtraction block 205 only outputs a difference between the received signal stored in the buffer 203 and the selected regeneration signal and a Gaussian noise signal as residual signals.

[0049] The I/Q residual signals are provided to the demodulation blocks 171 a to 171 k of the demodulator 170 in parallel regardless of whether the regeneration signals are selected or not and, then, down-sampled on the chip basis by I/Q signal decimators 175-1 and 175-2 in each of fingers 173 a to 173 l.

[0050] Output values of the decimators 175-1 and 175-2 are signals on the chip basis including chip asynchronous information provided to each user. In order to demodulate the signals unselected by the path selector 145-1 and 145-2, there is performed the same procedure as in the demodulator 170 by using the residual signals as the received signal.

[0051] In the meantime, since the selected regeneration signals are subtracted at the subtractor 205 so as to demodulate the signals selected by the path selectors 145-1 and 145-2, the residual signals are added by a regeneration signal for each path and then there is performed the bit decision of the signals for each path. For this, the I/Q signals on the chip basis outputted from the signal regeneration blocks 131 a to 131 l of the signal regenerator 130 pass through delays 104 and 105 so as to keep timing with the residual signals and, then, provided to their corresponding fingers 173 a to 173 l in the first demodulation block 171 a.

[0052] An I residual signal down-sampled on the chip basis by an I signal decimator 175-1 of each finger is combined with an I regeneration signal delayed by the delay 104 and then inputted to a DPDCH demodulation block 177. On the other hand, a Q residual signal down-sampled on the chip basis by the Q signal decimator 175-2 are combined with a Q regeneration signal delayed by the delay 105 and then provided to the DPCCH demodulation block 179. In case the subtraction is not performed and the first received signal is inputted to the fingers, the data becomes 0 since there are considered the delays 104 and 105 from the path selectors 145-1 and 145-2.

[0053] The above procedure can be equally applied to all of the fingers 133 a to 133 l in the signal generator 130 and, since the bit decision is executed when most or all of the path signals are removed through the interference cancellation procedure, a more accurate decision can be performed. A final bit decision is accomplished by a hard decision performed at a bit decision block 135 of the first signal generation block 131 a after a DPDCH MRC 183 and a DPCCH MRC 185 and then a DPDCH bit decision value and a DPCCH bit decision value are outputted.

[0054]FIGS. 2A and 2B show a configuration of a cyclic interference cancellation receiver capable of performing the multistage interference cancellation, which has an advantage of substantially reducing the hardware complexity compared with that described in FIGS. 1A and 1B.

[0055] As illustrated above, in accordance with the present invention, it is possible to simplify the configuration of the parallel interference cancellation receiver by summing up all regeneration signals prior to being passed through the band spread filter when regenerating the received signal for the interference cancellation. Further, the present invention can be applied to asynchronous systems by regenerating and subtracting signals on the over-sample basis.
